Qualcomm is expected to announce the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 at the 2023 Snapdragon Tech Summit in October of this year. Rumors are rife that the first Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 phones will debut as early as November this year. The Xiaomi 14 series will be one of the first phones to feature it. A new leak courtesy of Chinese tipster Digital Chat Station has revealed that Xiaomi’s sub-brand Redmi will also launch an SD8G3 chip phone.
Redmi K70 Pro may feature the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3
To recall, Redmi unveiled the Redmi K60 series in December 2022. It announced the Redmi K60e, the Redmi K60, and the Redmi K60 Pro. The Dimensity 8200, Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1, and Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipsets are responsible for powering these smartphones, respectively.
It is likely that the Redmi K70 series will also include multiple smartphones. As per the tipster, the lineup will include a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 phone. Hence, it is likely that the Redmi K70, arriving as the successor to the K60 Pro, may come equipped with the said chipset.
The K60 Pro remained exclusive to the Chinese market. Hence, it is unclear whether the K70 Pro will be released in markets outside of China. At present, there is no information available on the specifications of the Redmi K70 series.
Reports have revealed that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 will include 1 x Cortex X4 core clocking at 3.75GHz, 5 x Cortex-A720 cores working at 3.0GHz and 2 x Cortex-A520 cores operating at 2.0GHz. The unannounced chip was spotted at Geekbench and AnTuTu benchmarking platforms with impressive scores. In Geekbench’s single-core and multi-core tests, the SD8G3 scored 2563 and 7256 points, respectively. On the other hand, the chip scored 1,771,106 points on AnTuTu.
